Until he met the woman he was sworn to protect…. When Julian heard Desari sing, rainbows swamped his starving senses. Emotions bombarded his hardened heart. And a dark hunger to possess her flooded his … his loins, blinding him to the danger stalking him.

Sensual and evocative, full of unique characters and magic, DARK CHALLENGE made for an entertaining read! Julian Savage was an ancient Carpathian who was at the end of his rope. Many males when they reached this point in their lives either chose to give into the darkness that dwelled within them, becoming a vampire, or they walked into the sun and …
A great paranormal romance series
I loved this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were interesting and likable. Desari (Dara) was a great match for Julian. Julian was such a chauvinist and totally underestimated Desari. I loved it when Desari showed Julian just how powerful she was. Their relationship was great. Julian trying to learn to live around …

I love this book. Julian is hot . I’ve read the whole carpathian series. The rivalry between Darius and julian was great.
Really great in the Feehan tradition.
Lost carpethians, one by choice and others not. Julien finds his license in one who thought was lost. The story can get little slow at times but plenty of heat and definitely happily after.
Book 5 sees Aidan’s (from dark gold) twin Julian sent on a mission to protect a mortal woman from the society (a group of humans bent on destroying vampires and their brethren the carpathians) she has been targeted because of her strange lifestyle.
Julian is different from most carpathian males, he is tall, muscular and blond. Carpathian males …
Dark Challenge the 5th book in the Dark series by Christine Feehan was a nice read. But for me a little slow which is why it’s a 4 star and not 5. Julian and Desari are a very sweet couple and I enjoyed reading about Desari’s family. There is just something I love about the Carpathian series. It’s my Happy Zone. The whole lifemate thing is so …
I have been trying to get caught up on Christine Feehan’s backlist for a while now… but she is so prolific that I don’t think I will ever catch up. (And that’s a good thing seeing as I like her writing.) I happened to be notified about the re-release of Dark Challenge, and it coincided with where I was in the Carpathians series, so I jumped at …
I love all her books and this one does not disappoint!
Read all of this series, great read. Can’t wait for 2017 to be on the book shelf.
